    Since Lin Qingbai agreed to go to the Wu Clan, there is no time to delay.

    The pharmacists of the fairy clan prescribed medicine for Lin Qingbai for two days, and when Lin Qingbai's physical strength recovered a little, they were ready to go on the road.

    It's just that before departure, everyone had a disagreement about who went to the Wu Clan with Lin Qingbai.

    Senior Sister and Qianyue Immortal Venerable must stay in the Immortal Clan and cannot go together.

    So only He Fangleng and Lin Qingbai's three little disciples were left among the idlers that the Immortal Clan could spare.

    Seeing that they wanted to follow again, Lin Qingbai refused, "It's enough for me to go alone, so don't bother."

    It's just that this time everyone knew that Lin Qingbai didn't have a soul pill, so it was impossible to let him go to a dangerous clan like the Wu clan alone.

    So before Lin Qingbai's little apprentice asked, Xiliangu refused more bluntly than Lin Qingbai: "This trip is difficult and dangerous, so it is naturally impossible for you to go to the Wu Clan alone, someone must accompany you.”

    Lin Qingbai has never liked to argue with others, let alone his senior sister who has a kindness to him.

    So he looked down at Tangyao.

    Today's boiled soup is a little bitter, Lin Qingbai doesn't need to drink it, he can smell it just by smelling it.

    He doesn't like bitter taste, and he doesn't want to drink medicine.

    It's just that it's not like the world here.

    In the mortal world, Lin Qingbai is weak, and Xi'an is responsible for all affairs in the mansion. He doesn't need to be so strong. If he doesn't like to drink bitter medicine, he just doesn't like it. Everyone knows it.

    So every time he takes medicine, Xi An will prepare a plate of sweet and sour preserved fruit for him.

    But now in the Immortal World, he is Qingyuan Immortal Venerable, the person who supports the entire immortal clan, even if he hates these bitter tastes, he can't say it out.

    It will damage the majesty of the immortal.

    What's more, now his junior and apprentice are watching him from the sidelines.

    So Lin Qingbai just held the bowl of bitter medicine and looked down, neither drinking nor moving.

    Wait until the hot medicine cools down a little bit.

    The few young disciples in front thought that their master was making a difficult decision about who should go with him.

    So the three children didn't dare to disturb them, they waited anxiously for the master to come up with a conclusion, and waited anxiously.

    I saw Lin Qingbai staring at the bowl of decoction with deep eyes, pursed his mouth lightly and took a breath, made up his mind, his eyelashes trembled twice, put the soup bowl to his mouth, closed his eyes and dried up the bowl of decoctionAnd do.

    Then he bit his mouth tightly, and glanced around the desk.

    Nothing can overpower the bitterness.

    Lin Qingbai could only pick up a cup of tea, took two sips to rinse his mouth, and then picked up a white handkerchief beside him to wipe his mouth.

    The three children were staring at the movement of Master's hands, waiting for Master to speak.

    In the end, Lin Qingbai put down the handkerchief, and said softly, "I will only take three people with me on this trip, you decide for yourself."

    "..."

    A few people froze for a while, you look at me and I look at you.

    He Fangleng naturally wanted to go.

    After all, they were the uncles of the three of them, so no one dared to say that He Fangleng would not be allowed to go.

    The remaining two places can only be produced among their three apprentices.

    Fatty Mo Yuluo was not happy anymore, he puffed his mouth and said: "I didn't go to the mortal world last time, and it's my turn to go with Master."

    Mo Yuluo was the youngest of the three and also the one who cried the most.

    As he said, last time he was not able to go down to the mortal world to play around, if he was not allowed to go this time, he would really cry in Lin Qingbai's bedroom.

    So Xuan Che and Mu Yan looked at each other, and could only choose the most fair and just way to choose the last candidate.

    After a round of rock-paper-scissors, Xuan Che won.

    Mu Yan stomped her feet, and said reluctantly: "Then you guys follow Master, you must take good care of Master."

    Xuanche and Mo Yuluo patted their chests: "Don't worry."

    The matter was settled, and everyone was ready to go.

    In the evening, everyone went back to their rooms to pack their things. The next day, they met in front of the main hall and went to the Wu Clan together.

    The road to Wuzu this time is the same as the road to Kudi Waterfall a few days ago.

    They walked all the way to the original location of the digging waterfall, and walked along the river of the upper waterfall.

    According to what Xianzun Qianyue said, at the end of the Digging Waterfall is the border of the Wu Clan.

    People of the Witch Clan admired ancient techniques, and if they entered the unusable flying technique of the Witch Clan, if they were discovered by the primitive tribes of the Witch Clan, they would probably be regarded as trespassers and cause everyone to besiege them.

    So the few people kept walking, from dawn to dusk.

    When Mo Yuluo propped his legs on his hands, he couldn't stop panting, and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then he saw the end of the water flow of the Digging Waterfall.

    The location at the end of the water flow is very strange, with a layer of pale gold enchantment.

    That layer of enchantment glowed with golden flashes, isolating the Wu Clan and the outside world, like two worlds.

    Outside the barrier is a plain jungle, and the waterfall is still flowing continuously, but inside the barrier is a cluster of mountains, the waterfall suddenly disappears, and even the source of the water flow is unknown, as if suddenly flowing from the bottom of the barrier.Water came out.

    "It should be here." Lin Qingbai stopped in front of the barrier and said in a low voice.

    He Fangleng looked at the barrier carefully, and said, "Brother, if we rush into the barrier rashly, will it disturb the Wu Clan people?"

    Lin Qingbai frowned, thinking about this question.

    He stared at the scenery inside the enchantment with heavy eyes.

    All the members of the Wu Clan live on the mountains, and those mountains are like sleeping giants in the dark night, subduing their bodies on the ground, casting huge black shadows, which is terrifying to look at.

    Before leaving, Qianyue Xianzun didn't tell everyone what to do if they encountered the enchantment of the Wu clan?How to enter the Witch Clan?

    So Lin Qingbai thought for a moment, and finally said one word simply and neatly: "Enter."

    Standing beside Lin Qingbai, He Fangling opened his mouth and eyes wide, and asked, "How to get in? Just go in?!"

    Lin Qingbai did not answer He Fangleng's question, nor did he look back.

    He raised his hand and attached his fingers to the golden barrier. Surprisingly, the barrier did not prevent him from entering. Instead, with a flash of light, his fingertips easily pierced in.

    Lin Qingbai waved his sleeves, took his hands back, put his hands behind his back, and walked in as usual.

    Standing outside, He Fangling raised his head blankly to observe the barrier above his head. Seeing that there was no major fluctuation in the barrier, he gave Lin Qingbai a thumbs up and walked in.

    Both the master and the uncle went in, and the remaining two apprentices glanced at each other, hesitating whether to go in or not.

    Mo Yuluo was a little less courageous, he was still a little scared standing outside the barrier, and said to Xuanche: "Brother, you go in first..."

    Xuan Che was not afraid, he strode in, then turned around and waited for Mo Yuluo.

    He Fangleng and Lin Qingbai did not care about the two behind them, but looked at the mountains ahead with their hands behind their backs.

    Standing in front of Lin Qingbai, He Fangling couldn't stop praising: "Brother, when did you become proficient in the witch clan's enchantment technique, and you can see through at a glance that this enchantment does not have the ability to defend."

    "I didn't see it."

    ".....ah?"

    Lin Qingbai's voice was as usual: "It's not that we came in to steal things and disturbed the people of the Wu clan. It's just right to ask them how to repair the soul pill, so as to save the trouble of finding someone else."

    "...."

    He Fanglen looked at his senior brother speechless for a while, and finally choked out two words: "Excellent."

    Seeing that all three of them had entered, Mo Yuluo was heartbroken, and stepped into the barrier.

    However, when half of his body just stepped into the enchantment, the enchantment in the air flickered suddenly, and then there was a piercing sound in the air, the sound was like the barking of an elephant, and in an instant, the originally dark and silent valleyIn the middle, the sky was suddenly lit with candles.

    Those fire candles spread along the mountain to the mountains

    , like a star shining.

    In just a blink of an eye, the mountains were filled with light, and the shouts of all the people and the howls of monsters were all heard.

    This change came suddenly, Lin Qingbai didn't know what happened, and frowned and looked at the distant mountains.

    At the same time, Mo Yuluo suddenly shouted from behind: "Master! Help me!"

    Lin Qingbai turned his head abruptly, and saw that half of Mo Yuluo's body was inside the barrier, and the other half was outside the barrier. He seemed to be stuck in the barrier, blushing and wanted to move forward or back, but couldn't move half a cent.

    "Master, look up!" Xuan Che suddenly exclaimed.

    Lin Qingbai looked up in the direction of his fingers, his pupils constricted instantly, and the veins in his palms popped.

    On the originally calm and soft barrier, now there is a golden light, and a silver light slowly slides down along the edge of the barrier.

    The silver light was murderous, with sharp edges, like a slowly falling knife, just waiting for it to fall to Mo Yuluo's position, it could cut Mo Yuluo in half from head to tail!

    In the next second, Lin Qingbai and He Fangleng shot at the same time.

    He Fangling turned around and offered a long piano from his long sleeves. The long piano has a strong rhythm, and as he raised his hand and waved his fingers, murderous waves of light flew towards the barrier.place.

    And Lin Qingbai was flying in the air, the hem of his white clothes fluttering like the wind, he raised his right hand, a dazzling white light appeared in the palm of his hand, and he held the white light tightly in his hand with his backhand, a white bow with shining silver lightfloating in his palm.

    At the same time that the white bow appeared in the world, a strong wind suddenly blew up all around, the branches of the trees were blown crooked, the ground flew sand and rocks, and all the fallen leaves and rocks were floating in mid-air, flying around Lin Qingbai's side like a storm, blowingLin Qingbai was wrapped up in it.

    But Lin Qing's black hair was flying, and he raised his hand to pull Yu Chi's bowstring.

    There was no arrow to shoot from the bow, so Lin Qingbai used his internal strength as an arrow!

    Before he let go of his hand, a sharp silver light shot straight towards the barrier.

    There was a sudden throbbing pain in the heart.

    Lin Qingbai gritted his teeth and endured it, but saw that after the silver light touched the barrier, it shattered like an egg hitting a stone, and did not damage the barrier in half.

    Lin Qingbai made several attacks with internal force again and again, but all of them were turned into debris after the blows, without even punching a hole in the barrier.

    Seeing that the beheading knife on the barrier was about to fall more and more down, Xuanche continuously sent his hands towards the barrier to resist the internal force, so hard that his eyes turned red, he shouted loudly: "Master, it's too late!!!"

    Lin Qingbai swallowed the fishy sweetness gushing out of his throat, he raised his hand and wanted to shoot a blow with all his strength.

    At this time, He Fanglen, who was standing below, shouted loudly: "Brother, let's go together!!!"

    Lin Qingbai understood in his heart, he took a deep breath, raised his hand with trembling fingertips, poured all the spiritual power into his right hand, the spiritual power surged in his palm, and there was a crackling sound of lightning.

    He put those spiritual powers on Yuchi unreservedly, and said in a hoarse voice: "One, two, three... Let it go."

    When Lin Qingbai's voice fell, the bunch of silver arrows in his palm and the sound waves of He Fangleng's guqin were released at the same time.

    Two powerful streams of mana, one white and one green, converged in the air and suddenly turned into a huge golden light.

    The golden light was extremely fast, and when it flew through the air, it even rubbed red flames in the air.

    Just when the light was about to hit the barrier, Xuan Che raised his hand and merged into another blue light.

    In the next second, the powerful flying arrow pierced through the barrier just as the chopping knife was about to fall.

    There was only a crisp sound like broken glass resounding through the sky!

    Several cracks, large and small, appeared on the barrier, and then instantly shattered.

    Lin Qing had a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth. His figure fell straight down from the sky like a white flower petal.

    Dust was everywhere, Lin Qingbai fell to the ground, his white clothes were covered with dust, and he was in a mess.

    Not only his embarrassment, but He Fangleng and Xuanche next to him exhausted their spiritual energy one after another, sitting on the ground without moving for half a minute

    no.

    Even Mo Yuluo's eyes were red with fright, and he sat on the ground and stared blankly at everyone.

    This enchantment of the Wu clan is really solid.

    Lin Qingbai has lived for thousands of years, and has seen tens of thousands of barriers, large and small. He has encountered no more than three such solid barriers.

    What's more, this enchantment has the function of killing people, and the cruelty this time is unprecedented.

    Lin Qingbai and the others had long expected that the Wu Clan and his party would not be so simple, but they did not expect that they had just stepped into the territory of the Wu Clan, and they would encounter such a catastrophe, and all their spiritual power would be exhausted.

    Just as the few of them were panting for breath, they heard a crisp clapping sound from behind.

    "Okay, okay, no one has been able to break through the protective barrier of my witch clan for five thousand years, and I have learned a lot today."

    A bright female voice sounded behind Lin Qingbai.

    Lin Qingbai turned her head and saw a woman sitting on a leopard with her legs crossed.

    She has deep facial features, light brown skin, and thin clothes, only a piece of rough leopard-print plain cloth wraps her chest and buttocks, revealing her long, slender legs and a thin waist.

    And behind the woman, there are still hundreds of people standing in a team. Those people are dark-skinned and barefoot, holding a slender wooden stick in their hands.Shijiao kept vibrating, and whispered slogans that Lin Qingbai couldn't understand.

    There was still a trace of blood at the corner of Lin Qingbai's mouth. He frowned, raised his hand to cover his heart, stood up slowly with one hand on the ground, and said to the woman: "I don't intend to destroy the barrier, but I just want toI ask the Wu Clan for help, and I hope the girl will forgive me."

    But the woman laughed and said: "It's a serious crime for outsiders to enter my witch clan. It doesn't matter whether I forgive you or not. It depends on our king, and bring them all up!"

    After the woman patted the leopard's butt, the leopard turned around obediently, and carried the woman all the way to the depths of the jungle.

    The rest of the Wu clan surrounded Lin Qingbai and the others, and wanted to escort them over.

    Lin Qingbai's heart throbbed with pain, his complexion was extremely gloomy, and his limbs became weak every time he took a step.

    Mo Yuluo hurried forward to hold Lin Qingbai's arm, and walked forward together.

    The woman led the crowd to the depths of the mountains and walked straight ahead. There was a house made of black wood in the middle of the mountains.

    In the open space in front of the house, there were clusters of burnt bonfires. Outside the door stood dozens of Wu tribe guards holding wooden sticks. They were dark-skinned and wore a sackcloth casually and a pair of shorts on their lower body., walking barefoot in the ground full of stones.

    Lin Qingbai and the others were brought to the wooden house by the woman, and the leopard-print woman jumped off the leopard and strode into the wooden house first.

    "Your Majesty, the trespasser has been brought back by me."

    A burly man sat in the main hall of the wooden house.

    The man with a half-faced beard was holding a black and silver wooden staff with a piece of sapphire blue jade inlaid on the top of the wooden staff. His eyes were piercing, and upon hearing that, he looked at Lin Qingbai and the others like a beast.

    Guards stood on both sides of him, but in the corner on his right stood an old woman in a cloak with a stooped back.

    The woman's cloak was so low that it even covered her eyebrows and eyes, only a shriveled lip could be seen.

    "Bring it in," said the king.

    The people around led Lin Qingbai and the others into the wooden house, and stopped in front of the Wu Clan King.

    The king looked at a few people, and asked in a voice like Hong Zhong: "Who are you, who dare to break the protective barrier of my witch clan?"

    He Fangchen clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, we didn't do this intentionally. We just wanted to seek help from the Wu Clan, but we didn't expect to trigger the ban on the barrier."

    The king raised his hand and slapped the table hard, and said in a loud voice, "I ask who you are!"

    He Fanglen turned his head and glanced at Lin Qingbai.

    Lin Qingbai was silent for a moment, then nodded at him.

    He Fangleng said: "My servant, He Fangleng, this is my senior brother Lin Qingbai and his two disciples."

    His Majesty's eyes tightened,

    Looking down at Lin Qingbai, he lowered his voice and asked, "Qingyuan Xianzun Lin Qingbai?"

    "Exactly."

    Hearing the words Qingyuan Xianzun, there was a moment of silence in the hall, and all eyes were on Lin Qingbai.

    Even the woman who brought them in just now showed surprise.

    The Wu Clan King was silent for a while, and suddenly changed his expression. He laughed twice and said: "It turns out to be Qing Yuan Xianzun, I said that my clan protection barrier is woven by the kung fu of thousands of people."Well, how could a mere few people break it, it would be no surprise if it was Qingyuan Xianzun from the immortal clan, but I don’t know why Qingyuan Xianzun came to me?"

    Lin Qingbai glanced around and saw that there were people all around.

    He kept silent and didn't tell the whole thing.

    The fact that he lost his soul pill must be the less people know about it, the better.

    If anyone with a heart knows about it, they will definitely take the opportunity to retaliate.

    Seeing Lin Qingbai remain silent, the King of the Witch Clan saw what Lin Qingbai was thinking and said: "Don't worry, the Immortal, the people in my palace are all my dead men, and they wouldn't even dare to breathe without my order."Action, Immortal Venerable, but it doesn't hurt to say."

    Lin Qingbai didn't hesitate much after hearing the words, he said in a low voice: "I heard that the Wu Clan has a method to restore the soul pill, so I came here today to inquire about this method."

    The King of the Wu Clan tightened his gaze, looked at Lin Qingbai like a torch and asked, "Did the Immortal come to ask for this method, or did the Immortal ask for it for others?"

    Lin Qingbai said, "That's what I asked for."

    The King of the Witch Clan didn't seem to have expected Lin Qingbai to be so calm. He raised his eyebrows in astonishment, raised his hand to stroke his black beard, and said half aloud: "Our Witch Clan does have a technique that can restore the soul pill.But this skill consumes a lot, and we need something from the immortal in exchange."

    "What?"

    "I want a thread of your brain."

    Lin Qingbai frowned and asked, "What is the thread in the brain?"

    The king smiled, and winked at the old woman in a black cloak standing in the corner.

    The old woman walked to the front of the few people with bare branches.

    Her hands were as dry as branches that had been exposed to the sun, and her nails were black and slender.

    I saw her take out a small black box from her sleeve.

    As soon as the black box was opened, several small black flying insects flew out of it.

    The old woman's black and gray nails pinched one of the bugs, and brought it to Lin Qingbai's body, and said in a hoarse voice like sand grains: "It doesn't hurt... as long as this bug flies in from the noseIn your brain... just pull out one of the countless threads of memory in your brain, and bring it out to me..."

    He Fanglen and the others looked at the worm in the old woman's hand, worried in their hearts, and called out in a low voice: "Senior brother..."

    Lin Qingbai understood what He Fanglun meant.

    The witch clan is best at training Gu worms.

    The old woman said it easily, but who knows what the bug will look like after it enters the body?

    Today, they are only acquainted with the Wu people, and they can't tell whether they are enemies or friends, so it is bound to be risky to act rashly.

    Lin Qingbai looked at the old woman and was silent for a long time without speaking.

    The old woman seemed to have guessed what Lin Qingbai was thinking. She grinned, showing her sparse yellow and black teeth, and said with an ugly smile: "If you are afraid...you can let meMy little apprentice, come and give it a try..."

    Upon hearing this, Xuan Che was not afraid of death, so he stepped forward in two steps and said, "Master, I'll come first."

    Lin Qingbai raised his hand to stop him, and asked the woman, "If a strand of my brain is taken away, will it affect my past memory?"

    "Don't worry, Immortal Venerable, it won't be affected..."

    "good."

    "Master!"

    Lin Qingbai closed his eyes and refused to speak any more.

    He thought clearly just now, since he came to the Witch Clan, after going through this experience, asking for medical treatment, there is no other way to go except to believe.

    The old woman laughed even more happily, she made a strange giggling sound, and raised her hand to put the little black bug in front of Lin Qingbai's nose.

    The black worm flapped its wings twice

    , and got into Lin Qingbai's nose.

    Lin Qingbai only felt itchy nose at first, as if someone tapped his head lightly, and then he didn't feel it anymore.

    Everyone's eyes were fixed on Lin Qingbai, especially his two little apprentices, who dared not blink their nervous eyes.

    Not long after, Lin Qingbai felt his nose itch again, as if something was swimming around, and then the little bug flew out again.

    After the worm came out, it became different from when it entered. The original shriveled belly became much bigger, and the inside was still glowing with fluorescent light, like a firefly.

    The old woman raised her hand and grabbed the worm, pinched it to death with two fingers mercilessly, and then picked and picked the worm's broken belly with her slender nails, and took out the bright stick in the worm's stomach.Shiny threads.

    This is the thread in Lin Qingbai's mind.

    Although the process was a bit disgusting, they were all relieved to see that Lin Qingbai was fine.

    Then the old lady used the same method to take away the strands of the brains of the other three people one by one.

    The King of the Wu Clan was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "The brains of your fairy people are the best medicinal materials of our Wu Clan, but it is a pity that the fairy people are noble and do not want to associate with us.If you don’t have such treasures, there are only four people here today, hahahahahaha.”

    Xuanche looked at the king smiling happily, felt sullen in his heart, clenched his fists tightly, and said: "Since you got the things, why don't you hurry up and heal my master!"

    "No hurry." The king waved his hand, and said in a calm and unhurried way: "Not everyone's brain threads can be used, we only need the memory threads that are mostly happy, and we will check you first.memory."

    As she spoke, she saw the old woman bring out a black plate, put those brain wires on it, picked up a brain wire in her hand, closed her eyes and muttered words, and checked her memory one by one.

    Suddenly, when she checked the third one, her hand trembled violently.

    Then she opened her eyes and stared at the thread in her brain for a long time.

    She seemed to have seen something unbelievable, closed her eyes again, and continued to check again while muttering.

    In the end, she pinched the thread in her brain, and looked at Lin Qingbai with wrinkled eyes.

    Lin Qingbai looked back at her calmly.

    At this time, the old woman stood up, walked tremblingly in front of the king, bowed her body and whispered a few words in the king's ear.

    The king was also taken aback, and immediately ordered: "Everyone back down!"

    So all the guards walked out of the hall in unison.

    Mo Yuluo was taken aback by this posture, and didn't know what happened, so he moved step by step in front of Xuanche, and whispered: "What's the matter...why are people leaving all of a sudden? …what are they trying to do. …”

    The others didn't know what happened, they were all at a loss.

    Xuan Che held the saber in his hand, and looked at the Wu Clan members warily.

    The last guard who walked out closed the hall door, and the light in the hall became much darker for a while, only the torches on the wall shone with a strange warm light.

    Apart from Lin Qingbai, there were only three people left in the hall: the old woman, the woman with the leopard pattern, and the king of the witch clan.

    The king who was sitting on the throne slowly stood up and moved aside, while the old woman who was standing aside walked slowly to the throne.

    Before Lin Qingbai and his party realized what was going on, they saw the old woman raised the dead wooden cane in her hand, and knocked it heavily on the ground!

    Accompanied by that loud sound, a ray of purple light descended from the sky, swept over the old woman's body, blown away the cloak on her body, and stroked her gray hair. In just an instant, the purple light surrounded her body, making herThe wrinkles on her face gradually faded, and her black hair fluttered in the wind.

    After the purple light dissipated, the ugly old woman had turned into a beautiful woman in a purple robe.

    I saw the woman standing barefoot on the ground, her black hair reached her waist, her head was covered with a purple gauze, and her slender ankles were covered with silver rings. The cane in her hand had golden and purple patterns, and there was a huge purple-black gemstone on the top of the cane.The gem is exquisite and translucent, even more luxurious than the scepter of the Witch King.

    At the same time, the king and the leopard-print woman knelt in front of her, saluted and said loudly: "Welcome to the princess!!!"

    This change came too suddenly, and the few remaining people were stunned.

    But the princess stepped down from the throne step by step, walked up to Lin Qingbai, looked up at him, and shouted: "My lord."

    Lin Qingbai's body shook, and he looked at the princess with constricted pupils.

    At such a close distance, Lin Qingbai looked at the beautiful but proud eyes of the princess, and suddenly felt an inexplicable familiarity.

    Just as Lin Qingbai was trying his best to think about where this sense of familiarity came from, he only listened to the princess saying each word in a soft voice.

    "My lord, I'm Liang Yaochu—"
